Course Description
In this Blockchain Compliance for Financial Institutions course, you’ll understand how blockchain operates within regulated finance and how it supports compliance and auditability. We’ll also examine key regulatory expectations for digital assets and the controls that protect customers, data, and transactions. With practical examples related to KYC and AML controls, you’ll see how institutions manage smart contract risk and data privacy duties while they adopt blockchain systems. To apply these concepts in your role, you’ll connect the technology with the rules that shape your daily workflows.
We’ll explore blockchain governance and compliance program design, then demonstrate concrete controls and audit mechanisms that meet regulatory expectations for financial institutions. You’ll build confidence in how to read blockchain activity for KYC and AML reviews and apply risk-based checks to smart contracts and digital asset products. We’ll also address cross-border regulation and data privacy duties for blockchain systems to give you a complete understanding of compliance in regulated finance. By the end of this course, you’ll evaluate blockchain use cases in finance and match them with the proper compliance controls.
